Tell me more, tell me more.
I want to hire the van on its own, what does it include?
Gertrude herself, dressed to the nines, together with personable and professional bartenders, FOH staff, and chefs where required, includes serve ware, barware, ice, travel, set up, pack down, and clearing of glassware and bottles throughout the event (excluding disposal), all while delivering a damn good time.
Access to the site is required 2 hours before service for load-in and setup, and 1 hour after service for pack down.
Gertrude has been tested at a maximum draw of 6 amps (approximately 700–800 watts). If power is not available onsite, a generator will need to be hired for the duration of the event.
Access to water is also required to fill her up. The client or venue will need to provide rubbish bins or a designated waste area so rubbish can be collected and cleared throughout the event.
For larger events, we recommend hiring a cool room to ensure drinks stay as cold as possible.
Gertrude measures 2.3m high, 2.2m wide and 3.8m long, so she’ll need enough space onsite to truly shine.
